yeah ..words are just words and the state of mind when you use that word is what matters most. For me... I find nepali bad words more offensive than english bad words. Perhaps the only time i hear nepali bad words are when people are using it with hatred. English words, I have seen it used in a lot of context other than hatred...so accustomed to it. like saying shit!! but then shit is not really considered bad anymore i think LOL anyway for many people i think bad words are bad words. Only those who grew up using bad words everywhere wud not be offended (when state of mind is not hatred) or maybe even otherwise. But most i still think they wud be offended. It's better to control not using such degrading and hateful words, but noone is perfect. They can try their best in being sensitive about others' feelings when using such words
